Chinese artist Liu Bolin has an amazing talent. He can blend into any surroundings he chooses, making himself, or his subjects, practically undetectable to the human eye.

Bolin, known to many as the "Human Chameleon", decorates the body and clothes with color, painting himself and his subjects into the surroundings, making them almost imperceptible at first glance. He sees his work as a type of political protest, and a way of hiding from the authorities.

Others, like this shot in front of an Italian magazine rack, are mind-blowing.

Much of his work carries a personal or political message.

Bolin is interested in the relationship between objects and the people who use them. For this shot, taken in the Colombia Gold Museum, Bolin "wanted to express my idea through the currency, to reflect the relationship between money and people," he told Reuters.
